Khabib Nurmagomedov Delivers An Honest, Brutal Message To McGregor Inside The Octagon

Following on from a long build up to their highly anticipated fight, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor stepped into the octagon at UFC 229 last week.

The 30-year-old Irishman had no fear about getting in the Russian's face before the match and to trash-talk him every opportunity that he could.

It looks like Nurmagomedov had the last laugh, right?

No, we're not talking about the fact that he beat McGregor to retain his UFC Lightweight Championship. That was only a bonus for him, to be honest.

During the second round of the fight, the Lightweight Champion knocked his opponent to the floor and went to town on him.

It's at this point where Nurmagomedov started saying something to McGregor.

With a recently released clip from UFC, the Eagle pounded the Notorious as he delivered the following message: "Let's talk now."

Chilling stuff, especially when the tables had been turned on McGregor.

The match ended in the fourth round after Nurmagomedov locked in a submission hold. He is now undefeated in 27 matches.

Should UFC book Nurmagomedov-McGregor round two?

Let us know in the comments.
